The number of lawsuits alone is not disqualifying but potential patterns are.  The most recent suit with Trump University paints him in a very bad light.  According to their own playbook and former employees, the "university" was specifically designed to bilk people of modest means (if you already have money you don't need Trump University) and limited intelligence (if you have a brain you don't need TU) out of money they don't really have (encouraging them to pay with credit card debt or with their retirement savings).  

Obviously, he does not care about the little people.  As many of Trump's supporters are of modest means and limited intelligence, the implications of this may or may not resonate with them.

Similarly, multiple bankruptcies at his companies undermine his claims of business success, which is ostensibly his sole qualification for running.

Bah!

You as an attorney know that considering all the businesses he runs that there would be a related amount of legal actions against him.

doesn't matter, to his supporters.  There could be 3 million lawsuits.  Wouldn't affect them one bit.

they love his show, they love his balls, they love the way he disrespected every politician they've ever disliked.

He could club baby seals and feed them to a woodchipper and they'd applaud him for sticking it to all those climate changers.  He cannot be stopped, his supporters are like the obamabots they shit on for 8 years.

Read the article - its very detailed on the suits etc. 

Trump would get himself impeached within months if he became POTUS with his lack of restraint in even the most trivial matters.

Trump shoots from the hip - reactionary and emotional.

His lowbrow supporters don't realize how that'd affect international relations.   They aren't concerned about what happens when 7 of the G8 stand up and walk out because he's being obnoxious or they block the dollar because he threatens everyone with nukes all the time.

Trump is an immature man.  I don't care what your politics are - he has been a millionaire since birth, he's spoiled, and he's immature because nobody ever slapped his hand.

Its amazing to me how someone like him has gotten to this point.  Maybe he is smarter than all of us in knowing that the lowest common denominator really sells best.

No, I don't think it's unexpected that he'd have been involved with this number over that period of time.  Not at all.

Unfair hit-piece.

I notice on the "news" they're showing a clip of him speaking, and he appears to be spitting nonstop.  Perfect lighting to see it, and not a very flattering thing to watch.

However, even by those measures, the number of cases in which Trump is involved is extraordinary. For comparison, USA TODAY analyzed the legal involvement for five top real-estate business executives: Edward DeBartolo, shopping-center developer and former San Francisco 49ers owner; Donald Bren, Irvine Company chairman and owner; Stephen Ross, Time Warner Center developer; Sam Zell, Chicago real-estate magnate; and Larry Silverstein, a New York developer famous for his involvement in the World Trade Center properties.

To maintain an apples-to-apples comparison, only actions that used the developers' names were included. The analysis found Trump has been involved in more legal skirmishes than all five of the others — combined.

Oh yeah, Trump is a 911 truther all the way.

Trump: “Secret Papers” May Link 9/11 to Saudi Arabia

“It wasn’t the Iraqis that knocked down the World Trade Center. We went after Iraq, we decimated the country, Iran’s taking over…but it wasn’t the Iraqis, you will find out who really knocked down the World Trade Center, because they have papers in there that are very secret, you may find it’s the Saudis, okay? But you will find out,” Trump said at a Wednesday campaign event in Bluffton, South Carolina.

Trump’s implied promise to declassify 28 pages from a 2002 joint congressional intelligence inquiry into 9/11 sets him apart from the remaining Republican and Democratic presidential aspirants, filling a gap created when Rand Paul suspended his campaign. Last summer, Paul introduced Senate Bill 1471, which, if passed, would direct the president to release the 28 pages, and he pledged to release them himself if elected to the White House. Green Party candidate Jill Stein has also called for their release. (Then-Senator Hillary Clinton co-signed a 2003 letter to President Bush demanding the release of the 28 pages, but has been silent on the topic since.)

that may be true in October.  Right now, anything can happen.

Paul Ryan can still overthrow Trump at the convention if he's still being an ass.
hilary can be indicted, handing it to bernie, or biden/warren, or who knows.
Libertarian johnson already polling at 11% can move up and win it with 35%.
French/ Krystol/romney 3rd party run can happen.

It's 2016 and ANYTHING can happen this year, we see that.  It's about personality for voters now, not positions, because trump is a horrible conservative and destroyed cruz with evangelicals.  Anything can happen this year.  I'll accept your premise if it's 47 to 47% in October, which will likely be the case.  but I'm not ready to surrender yet ;)

Thing that concerns me, is that he's become buddy-buddy with Alex Jones.  AJ is a mis-info agent on the subject and it worries me that any preparation made toward an investigation would be filtered through the likes of him: someone who purposely doesn't offer an actual solution.  If you look at what Jones says on it, everything diverts away from the knock-out, and nothing holds an answer. (Meaning that's the sort of "investigation" which could be expected.)

he's promised to bring back torture + actually make our methods more violent and cruel.
He's promised to blow up babies and wives and grandmothers of terrorists.

Imagine the US military publicly torturing people with acid, then stabbing all their children with bayonets.  It's some 3rd world shit that Trump has promised there.  

Or, he's just bullshitting, which is worse, beause he's just using illegal violence promises to win office.  Either way, he looks like shit on it.

Yes, that would be the thing with most angles on an investigation.  Cheney and Rumsfeld (two guys who need to go down on this, with no question) will die, soon.  They're old, and in Cheney's case he's been on borrowed time since the fucking 70s, and it will soon be up to God to deal with them.

Going in any direction but immediately toward them, is going to cut the balls right off everything.  IMO, maybe that's what Alex Jones is there for -- as a hedge against time.

I don't care that they'll never see a courtroom for it - they're old, they would stall it for a decade.  

I think their biggest fear is LEGACY - they do give a shit what history thinks of them, even if they say otherwise.  If/when 911 truth finally reaches the USA (goodness knows the rest of the world already knows), bush/cheney will go down as the biggest scoundrels in american history.
